Mkhitaryan will have a big impact at Manchester United, says Gundogan

The Germany international is confident his former
Borussia Dortmund team-mate will prove to be a huge success at Old
Trafford with his move expected to be completed shortly

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has little doubt Henrikh Mkhitaryan will make a major impact at Manchester United.
Borussia Dortmund announced at the weekend that Mkhitaryan will leave
the Bundesliga side in favour of a move to Old Trafford and Gundogan
has backed his former BVB team-mate to shine in the Premier League.
"Henrikh has been at Dortmund for three years. The first two years
were not so easy for him, to be honest," Gundogan was quoted as saying

"He's a player who needs self-confidence, who needs to play every time
and prove himself to get better and better. At this time, we were not so
successful, so it was not easy for him to adapt. He had a few problems.
"But when you see how he played last year, it was really incredible. Maybe he was the most important player for us last year.
"If he can go on like this, he will have a big, big impact for
Manchester United, and a big plus. I wish him the best, and to stay
healthy."

Mkhitaryan, 27, is expected to complete his move to United in the upcoming days
